In Search of Non-Toxic Makeup

I am in search of a makeup line that is both non-toxic and affordable. I used to use Bare Minerals and am currently using Physicians Formula Organics. Both were okay but Bare Minerals seemed to run out quickly and I don’t really like the coverage of P.F. Organics. Last night I was watching What Not To Wear and they were making over Mayim Bialik from Blossom and knowing that she is very health conscience (even vegan I think) I looked up what they used on her. I discovered that Carmindy created her own line of makeup that they are using on the show called Natural Beauty which can be found online, at Sally Hansen and CVS. I looked it up and it is paraben (a group of chemicals used as preservatives) free and uses a lot of natural (aloe, bamboo, etc.) elements. I often refer to the Environmental Working Group and Skin Deep web pages to check the safety of products but this one wasn’t on there. So I am wondering if the line is just “natural” – using some natural elements or actually non-toxic. I’ll need to do a bit more research. My question to whomever may read this is: Have you found a makeup line that is non-toxic and affordable? Or have you used Natural Beauty?

I have this funny thought in my head as I write this: The best non-toxic and affordable make up line is “All-Natural” or Bare Faced (meaning no makeup at all), but I don’t think I am really wanting to go sans-makeup. Other’s might appreciate that too! 🙂

Hands down I like the foundation of Bare Escentuals — I have found that the coverage is superior and more natural looking & feeling than any other brand. I also really like their concealer & blush. In fact, the only product I havent liked (hated) was their mascara.

The other company that my sis and I have used for about a year is Everyday Minerals. She found it and got me on it and gave me a really cool explanation of how it even doesnt contain a certain ingredient that Bare Escentuals has which causes irritation for some people. It is a lot more affordable than Bare Escentuals products. I have tried/have a lot of their different products – blush, eyeshadow, foundation, lip gloss, soap. I love my lip gloss, like the blush and eye shadows, and the foundation I thought was okay. I might have told you about this brand once… I cant remember. But you can get a free kit of samples that you choose, just pay S&H.

I usually go “all natural” or “bare face”. For everyday it really does save money. And who really sees you everyday, Judah? Aaron? And they love you for you and not the makeup on your face 🙂

For special occasions, dates, etc. I use Mary-Kay. I’m not sure of their “natural” approach but I do know they just changed over to mineral eye products, blushes and foundations. I love them. Their Time-Wise Facial Wash and Lotion is the only thing that has ever “tamed” my skin. And I’ve tried just about anything out there. Mary-Kay also does not test their product on animals.

Here is a caution my Aunt (who has sold both Avon and Mary-Kay and has very sensitive skin) says, no matter what a company says, they are using some kind of manufactured product in their makeup. Otherwise it would be “avocado mask” you’d have to refrigerate. She said just beware of that. And also with her having sensitive skin, she said beware of the natural plants they are using too, because many people are allergic to them. I know Clinque claims to be hypo allergenic but they break her and I both out.
